Waiting and Watching | Week Seven.

January 25, 2017

yesterday afternoon

playing with the light (and yep, that’s a knitting needle holding up the stalks!)

The main reason I planted amaryllis bulbs this year was to re-live a bit of the magic our first one brought us last January. These blooms are certainly not as stunning as last year’s (whoa, those white stripes and whoa – all those blooms!), but this one got the timing right.

Sunday afternoon there were still just buds

but by Monday afternoon there were blooms!

I’m betting the bright sunshine yesterday and today will get that third bud to open by this afternoon.

Today’s waterlogue is again the Color Bloom filter, chosen for the beautiful way it portrays the blooms, their reflection and their shadow. and that touch of blue in the window…well that’s just serendipity!

Between the two you've had weeks and weeks for beautiful blossoms to enjoy and admire. Now I wish I'd tried to find bulbs that would get me through the tedious gray of January! Thank you for sharing your beauties!
